Todd:
There is a classic boating opportunity on July 4th to watch the fireworks. One puts in in VA, just upstream of the footbridge to Roosevelt Island. One anchors (or sticks a paddle in the mud) or ties up to another paddler just downstream of Roosevelt Island. There are typically 50 boats or so, so there is little risk of accidents from drunken motorboaters, who try to stay away from that shallow channel. To get a parking space at that lot, I typically try to arrive by 5:45 or so, and then simply picnic on the island before putting on. Folks bring drinks and snacks on the water.
I will likely be there this year with the dog.

Do you know where I might be able to locate a duckie or sit on top that so I can take my lovely fiancee?
Here is another idea for an evening paddle that Vikki had. What about paddling near the city on the night of July 4th to see the fireworks. I don't know where we could do this but I could take a raft that might be more comfortable to sit in. The raft would also have room to take a cooler with snacks and beverages.

Dear Cheat gang,
What about Friday, July 6th for a moonlight paddle together? It will
be very close to a full moon that evening, and i'm predicting hot
weather (based on nothing but a wish and a prayer) so the evening
paddle will feel good. Maybe meeting at Anglers (parking ONLY in the
UPPER lots) around 8 PM (post-traffic) for an attainment together, and
then a float down the gorge. Probably getting off the water around 10
PM. Will that work with people?

(p.s. - thanks Bill for giving me a friendly reminder to get organized
:). Does this work with you?)
